While making a major product announcement on April 1st might not be the best move, the announcement of the new Windows Server 2008 Foundation operating system by Microsoft today is a legitmate product announcement. And Third Tier is proud to announce, again without any April 1st tomfoolery, that Eriq Neale will be presenting a session on Server 2008 Foundation at the SMB Summit conference in Dallas the weekend of May 15-17.
The Server 2008 Foundation product will be an interesting addition to the SMB product offering from Microsoft, but there are some specific limitations on the product that will impact how it can be used in a small business. During his presentation, Eriq will be covering the basics of the Foundation product, its design limitations, and examples of how Foundation server can be used in both stand-alone implementations and as an additional server in an existing SBS or other Windows network.
If you want to learn how Foundation server may fit into the set of offerings you have for your clients, make plans to attend this session at the SMB Summit conference in May. If you haven’t already registered to attend, you can register on-line today. For additional information about Server 2008 Foundation, see http://www.microsoft.com/windowsfoundationserver.

Eriq – I have just spent all morning writing up my blog on this matter – Windows Server Foundation – based on a lot of research in March – so I hope this contributes to the community conversation here: http://harrybrelsford.wordpress.com/2009/04/01/windows-server-foundation/
